Winery Review:
-"Bright purple. High-pitched red berry and floral scents display good clarity and a hint of cracked pepper. Shows a touch of jamminess to its pliant black raspberry and cherry compote flavors, with a spicy quality adding vibrancy. Finishes with good focus and no obvious tannins, leaving a sweet berry note behind."
My Review:
-90 Points
-This wine was strong on the nose with hints of pepper over a generic grape smell. I caught touches of Asian spice and some berries. The taste was a very obvious blackberry with a bit of a kick on the finish. I enjoyed this wine a lot--it was very different from any other I have tried thus far. I tried this wine on its own without food.
